married in a year (in the suburbs version)

another girl i dated married

chase the heartbreak with the pantry

seven down, how many to go?

I'm insecure and I wanna know

was it my great mistake to light that fire with him standing there

did I set that stage, get you high to settle for average and fair

am i unattractive, too romantic fuel for your love affair

ooh ooh ooh ooh oooh

i thought i'd love you in the morning baby

but i guess you loved him an evening later

I can't believe i ever believed in fate, oh

was it ever gonna be me?

was it ever gonna be me?

you'll be married in a year in the suburbs

with a kid on the way in three

convincing yourself you're living the american dream

and I'll be dancing out in california

the kid who got it all wrong

convincing myself “one day I'll write a love song”

oh was it my great mistake to light that fire with him standing there

just when I thought i'd found myself I lost him it and square

in a car across the country trying to make some stranger love me

ooh ooh ooh ooh ooooooh

i thought i'd love you in the morning baby

but i guess you loved him an evening later

i can't believe i ever believed in fate, oh

was it ever gonna be me?

was it ever gonna be me?

there ain't a door in this city with enough for me

oh oh woah oh

i'm just a wide eyed boy too wild and free

so don't go claim the old “it's not you; it's me”

i been around the block to feel when it's over

and when it's over

you'll be married in a year in the suburbs

with a kid on the way in three

convincing yourself you're living the american dream

and I'll be dancing out in california

the kid who got it all wrong

convincing myself “one day I'll write a love song”
